One thing I love most about fall is apples. I made a trip to the orchard this weekend for a peck of gala apples, three gallons of cider and one plain donut. The cider from the orchard is especially delicious because it's unpasteurized. But keep in mind the naturally occurring yeasts in unpasteurized cider can cause fermentation within a week.

So what does one do with a peck of apples. Here are a few recipes to carry you through the day.

Place spinach, apple slices, onions, nuts, cranberries and goat cheese in a salad bowl. Whisk dressing ingredients together and drizzle over greens. Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper.

Apple Cinnamon Chips

2 tbsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 gala apple

2 tsp of cinnamon

Directions

Heat oven to 200 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Fill a medium bowl with ice, water and lemon juice and set aside. Slice the apple into very thin slices and let soak in the lemon-ice-water bath for 5 minutes.

Place apple slices on prepared baking sheet, sprinkle with cinnamon, and bake until crisp and dry (apx. 90 minutes).

Cool and serve.
